Something’s not right!

This guy is off!

Lante gritted his teeth and held on, continuing to fortify the defenses by releasing Earth Magic, but the terrifying cold wind still pried open the gaps in the rock wall, silently sneaking in. The cold gale, like a wandering sharp blade, traversed inside the rock wall, scraping hard against the azure Magic Shield. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The icy aura grew more intense, the Ice Dragon’s offensive became more violent, the Extreme Cold Domain became even colder, and the cold storm permeated everything, making Lante inside the Turtle Shell rock wall start to feel bone-chilling cold.

’Her magic power is actually getting stronger!’

Lante reached a terrifying conclusion. He initially thought that such a fierce magic assault, along with the high energy consumption of rapid casting, would likely not be sustainable for the opponent, but the reality was completely contrary to his expectations. The opponent not only held on but also grew stronger! She was channeling more and more spiritual energy!

What is going on!

As a top-tier Mage, Lante had already considered many scenarios: an extremely high total amount of spiritual energy, explosive magic talent amplification, high-speed spiritual energy recovery effect—all these he had anticipated and had ways to counter.

However, Tang Ruobing’s situation was completely beyond the usual norms, and with his knowledge base, he couldn’t predict the future development at all!

Even with a high total amount of spiritual energy, there is a limit within the realm of reason. The strongest S-Level spiritual energy talent can only increase the total amount of spiritual energy by three times, and equipment limits can also be calculated. The body basic potential of a Hero Level Spiritualist is numerable, and the total amount of spiritual energy can’t increase indefinitely.

When the total amount of spiritual energy exceeds the limit that the body basic potential can withstand, the total amount of spiritual energy will no longer increase. Even if Hero Level Spiritualists encounter many miraculous opportunities, surpassing the extreme level of the same level of spiritual energy users by 1.2 times is already the limit, and combined with talent, it’s at most 3.6 times.

Spiritualists have absolute limits!

The essence of a Stuck Level at Tier 1 is to reach the limit of body basic potential through adding points, and after reaching the limit, to break through to Tier Two to become stronger.

But her total spiritual energy has completely surpassed the normal limits of a spiritual energy user! This is not right!

....

"Her strength is indeed uncommon."

Qing Yu’s gaze became more serious as he stared intently at the changes on the field and continued, "If I’m not seeing it wrong, having a total spiritual energy far beyond the ordinary is just a façade. Compared to this, it’s her spiritual energy quality that’s more peculiar."

"Oh? You can see that."

Ye Mingqiu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I know Lante. Although he is only a Hero Level Spiritualist, his strength is good, and his defensive abilities are extremely strong. In battles with Sassos, known as a Half-step Legend, he can also gain a temporary upper hand." Qing Yu said.

Sassos?

Ye Mingqiu felt the name was somewhat familiar, like he’s heard it somewhere. He thought for a moment but still couldn’t recall, so he asked, "Who is Sassos? I feel like I have some impression."

"He’s a Warrior System spiritual energy user who uses a sword; his attack power is very strong, able to kill an ordinary same-level Tank Spiritualist with a single strike." Qing Yu answered.

"Oh, I remember now."

Ye Mingqiu showed a look of realization. Sassos was the Swordman who once cut down more than five thousand life of his; his hard power was quite good. If he hadn’t been eliminated, he would likely have reached the top hundred of the Celestial Ladder.

"You know him?"

"I encountered him during a trial; his speed and attack were quite good, but unfortunately, his defense ability was too weak." Ye Mingqiu responded.

Defense too weak?

Qing Yu’s eyes gradually changed as he asked, "In what situation can you feel the defense power of the opponent?" The answer: After hitting the target.

This means Sassos was most likely directly hit by the Divine Monarch, and he was most likely directly taken down, which is why the Divine Monarch concluded that his defense was too weak.

He felt anxious inside, as before he was nearly taken down by Ye Mingqiu with just one spear.

"You noticed something wrong with Broken Star’s spiritual energy quality?"

"Lante’s magic seems ordinary, but in fact, its defense power is very strong. Ordinary attacks can’t break the defense, nor can they penetrate, but Broken Star’s attack could break through the defenses, and it was a small-scale quiet breakthrough."

"So, there are two possibilities: one is that Broken Star deliberately diverted her focus, and the other... is that she’s deliberately holding back, but the spiritual power she’s releasing is too much, unable to control the intensity well, causing some spiritual energy to slightly overflow, and the intensity returns to normal level, leading to a Break Defense."

Qing Yu squinted his eyes and continued, "If you hadn’t told me beforehand that her strength is great, I would have thought she did it deliberately, but since you said so, it’s likely because her spiritual energy output is too much, unable to control the precision of spiritual energy causing a slight amount to emit power beyond her own tier."

He turned his head and looked at Ye Mingqiu, saying, "If I’m not mistaken, she should also have some similar traits to you, right? Or should I say, she gained some special method to acquire power beyond her own level."

Ye Mingqiu just smiled and didn’t explain.

....

Under the platform

The Extreme Cold Domain encompassed the entire venue, every corner filled with icy aura. When the extreme cold fully enveloped the course, what Tang Ruobing subsequently enhanced with her casting was not the amount of Extreme Cold, but its quality, further enhancing its intensity.

She stood amidst the ice and snow, pale blue long hair fluttering with the rippling spiritual energy. Her eyes were devoid of any ripple, and her casting movements were standard and mechanical, yet a slight amount of high-intensity spiritual energy would still leak out.

’My control is still too weak.’
